How does Basic Attention Token works:

Bat is different from the traditional advertising in which advertising revenue takes place between platforms and advertisers. This is not in case of BAT.

In traditional advertising, like Facebook or Google, they allow advertisers to promote their products and services in exchange of money and data they have collected from the users over the years, leaving users to gain nothing from being subjected to millions of ads.

But BAT revolves around the users which target suitable users via their machine learning algorithms, in return rewarded them for their attention. No user’s personal data is being collected in any way.’

Same held for advertisers too. They advertise by buying bat coins or so-called $BAT tokens to acquire advertising room and user attention.
